RxNorm is a standardized nomenclature for clinical drugs. RxNorm is produced by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). In this
context, a clinical drug is a pharmaceutical product given to (or taken by) a patient with a therapeutic or diagnostic intend. The
name of the drug in RxNorm combines its ingredients, dosage strength, and form.
The RxNorm Semantic Types file contains a subset of the data distributed by NLM in the RXNSTY.RRF file. This file follows the
general format of the MRSTY.RRF file of the Metathesaurus in NLM's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). There is exactly one row
in this file for each Semantic Type assigned to each concept. All RxNorm concepts have at least one entry in this file. Many have
more than one entry. The STY is a direct link to the UMLS Semantic Network.
